toxy i totally understand and respect your choice
i know from my sister who has simiular problems that the internet is the first thing you should leave alone if your OWN relax time is being shortened.
i agree that 1k was a way to small price from the beginning ;D
i really hope your job will get easier and that you will have enough time to relax ^_^
i would gladly pay more and hope you are inspired from my pictures.here is the form, if you want to look at it ^^
Text on Pic-Bla
Font-something cute, bubbly maybe some rainbows/hearts/stars
Screenshots-ClickityClickClick*** Other Details-something colorfull with rainbows/hearts/stars maybe cupcakes with cute faces, and all that jazz
+Tag please
if you don't want to do this order, i really still do understand it ^^ _________________ zombies don't run and vampires don't sparkle.

I'm unbelieveably sorry everyone D: it seems this shop was a mistake ={ i had opened it with the hopes that i would have enough time at least for a few sets of orders, and that i'd be able to open the slots at least a few times before school started, but it seems not.
School, work and life is eating all of my time up and it seems i barely have any time right now for imvu and especially no time to have a shop. I'm already working a few nights a week (night shifts are 2pm-10pm) and i tend to work weekend mornings with Hope from 8am-2pm, so when i get home the only things i want to do is relax, and be able to finish homework and have Me + family time, so it's a waste of my time to be making graphics in a shop.
I'm sorry but any further graphics that i will make will be for a few select friends, and myself. Even if you were offering me way more then i charge, i would only consider it if i felt inspired by the piece, but even then the chances are slim of me doing it =/
Luckily this won't really come as an inconvience to any of you considering i didn't ask to be paid and haven't been paid prior to any of the current orders :3 If any of you have a problem with my decision, you will have to deal with it yourselves, because i only made a shop to fill up any free time when i may have been bored, but now that is not the case :] There's a whole handful of extremely talented aritists in this graphics forum.
I may be creating a contest with 25k + possibly more in prizes, to help get rid of a bunch of my creds, i'm very happy with how my two new skins have been selling, especially my Night*time Nymph (85+ sales already!!) : D and because of that, i may make a few new ones in the future when i have time.
Having a graphics shop is also no longer fun for me and at the rate IMVU is going, the creds aren't even worth it, they don't hold as much value as they used to =/ 1k is probably only worth like .50 now, maybe less, who knows!
So anyways, besides the few graphics i make on here, i'm going to make a DeviantArt account for myself and be posting art that i've made and will be making and are currently in the process of making in RL :] I cherish my talent of things i can make in the flesh supremely more then the things i make here in cyberspace ;]
im sure everyone will understand everyone needs time to themselves and i understand how you work and have school cause it used to be such a hassle for me too..have fun at school and work though *i love your skins* _________________
Toxy I tottaly relate to what you are saying.
I hope that you do vist the GASR sometimes even if you aren't making pictures.
May I have the link to your deviant art?
I hope that you find enjoyment in whatever you decide to do instead of a shop. I support your decision to close even though I never got a chance to have one of your creations for my own.
~ Might I add that you've been a huge inspiration to everyone on here *including myself* and you've brought making avi pictures to a whole new level.

Thank you guys for understanding :3 it seriously does mean a lot, if any of you with whom i've talked with before and who still want to keep in contact with me just PM me and i'll send you my e-mail + MSN :3 for will frequently be using the computer in the furture for school projects, DA and whatnot :3 just not so much IMVU, because serisouly the whole concept of it isn't very fun anymore :/ i remember when i first signed up how fun it was because then you didn't have all the sh!t that's going on now, and when it was more fun making friends, and when people actually wanted to be your friend, not be your friend just so they could get free sh!t :/ But so yah! if you still want to keep in contact or whatever let me know :]
haha well i'm in the process of creating a new DeviantArt account but i can't think up a good name that hasn't been taken!!! D: if you could help me that'd be great^^; i'm trying to think up a name that has to do with Autumn, harvest, moon, nymph, Fae, Festive, or night : D I really want it to be somewhat Autumn related though^^ the name can have a "-" in it :3 _________________ Catalog<3 Dp by me
most good DA names have been tooken.
have you thought of translating the name you want in a different language ^^? _________________ zombies don't run and vampires don't sparkle.

haha all 3 of those had already been taken ;] But no worries i finally decided on a name i'd been pondering on for awhile, and i'm very satisfied with it^^
I'll tell you all what it is later when i finally have some of my pieces of work up : D _________________ Catalog<3 Dp by me
Toxeh!! Nooo!! *sniff!* I r sad! Wish you weren't closing your shop but at least maybe your bran will be happier and you can make lots of pretty pictures for me to gawk over. :3
Can you PM me your email and/or MSN? And I wanna know your deviantart too when you get it. I have an account also but rarely use it.
I was going to ask you to take a look at my 5k graphics request but I don't know if you'll be interested anymore *crys*
It takes guts to close a shop. But sometimes you just have to think about how much time you have and how you want to use it. Having a shop is hard and a lot of people close shops. I guess since IMVU is the lowest form of a time waster it's the easiest thing to leave. I think a lot of people are sad you're closed, but they won't force you to reopen. It's best to have time to yourself and not try to satisfy others with avatar pictures or banners that they'll just end changing next week because it got “old” or it was “so last week”. This is actually my first time recognizing this shop. I heard a lot of good things about it. So I thought I’d see what it’s all about. I hope work is smooth sailing for you, Toxy. You deserve time to yourself.
